Default Tires similiar in performance to Hankook Ventus RS-2

I currently have 2 new Hankook Ventus RS-2's, which are now discontinued. I don't really want them to go to waste. Is there a similar tire i can use for my other 2 wheels?

Yes. Get one of these, all of which are better than the R-S2 but are good choices if you can't match:

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec
Kumho Ecsta XS
Yokohama Advan Neova AD08
Toyo Proxes R1R
Falken Azenis RT-615K

Incidentally, Hankook has replaced the R-S2 with the R-S3, which would be a good choice but isn't available in most of the smaller sizes used on our cars.

I was planning on getting the Direzza Star Specs and just sell the Hankooks for cheap. My other option was to get 2 Star Spec's but from what i read, their tire is large for the size compared to other tires.

I was originally gonna get the Star Spec's but Tire Rack had the RS2's on clearance. That's the only reason why i bought them. I actually have 3 of the RS2's & by the time i had enough cash to buy the last one they were out of stock.
